Good suggestions - I think I was somewhat constrained by the low level of light and, as per Ken Rockwell's advice, I was without a tripod. A small f/stop, given the focal length, wasn't possible.
Having just played around with boosting contrast and upping and lowering brightness, I think I still like the way the photograph is now - the light, after all, was quite soft - but I've uploaded one more in line, I think, with your suggestion.
Also, the amount of scene brightness and contrast is influenced by the amount of tile, or lack thereof, tilt on my laptop's monitor, which I'm looking at right now.

i would have liked to see a bit more depth of field. as well, a bit more contrast brightness on the flowers. great photo!!
